Question:

If $y = e^{nx} ,$ then $n^{th}$ derivative of y is :

Options:

$e^{nx}$

$n^2e^{nx}$

$ny$

$n^ny$

Correct Answer:

$n^ny$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → $n^ny$

$y=e^{nx}$

$⇒\frac{dy}{dx}=ne^{nx}$

$⇒\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}=n^2e^{nx}=n^{derivative}y$   $[y=e^{nx}]$

$⇒\frac{d^ny}{dx^n}=n^ne^{nx}=n^ny$
